POTD 9/5/2010 – “Captain Jack Sparrow”

The Sigma 50-500 OS strikes again! This close-up image of Captain Jack Sparrow was taken during the Pirate Tutorial next to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. By using the Sigma lens, I was able to stand in the back of the audience and fire away without being too intrusive. If you are looking to get a photo of the Captain, this is one of your only chances, as the notorious pirate doesn’t made himself too easy to find. This image was processed using a combination of Topaz Adjust and Topaz Denoise to really bring out the colors and details and give it a pseudo-HDR look.
